How I Became a Writer

Note: The moment anyone hears I'm a writer, their first question is, "Why did you become a writer?" Not so much about the genre, though many mistake sci-fi with horror and suspense, but "why" or "how." And not so much "why do you have an accent," since English is my 4rth language. Anyway, I decided to put the question to rest by uploading here my first short story, written in the long-forgotten 19 Read more of this blog post »

Bob Bello answered a question about Agency: Fake reviews and ratings? To date there are 61 "ratings" for a book yet to be published for which there is and has been no pre-release nor advance copies. So Goodreads is as dishonest and untrustworthy a fake "review" site as Amazon? Is that what we're playing? Lame. No one is allowed to remove fake reviews or 1-star mis-ratings without any reviews, because they supposedly violate the so-called "freedom of speech."
